After Qiao Tian Chang left, Ning Meng Yao felt very uncomfortable. All these while, the both of them had been almost always together, as if he was glued to her. Now that he left and wasn’t around, she suddenly felt that something was missing.

Looking at the thread from the needle in her hand, Ning Meng Yao shook her head and smiled. Tendency was indeed a scary thing.

The thread that she held in her hand was used to measure Qiao Tian Chang before he left so that she could make a few clothes for him. Just the thought of his bright eyes, caused the down feeling in Ning Meng Yao’s heart to be swept away.

It wasn’t like he would never come back. Why did it feel so unsettling, as if he was never going to come back?

She sighed. Then she continued to sew the clothes in her hands. Qing Xue and the rest looked at Ning Meng Yao and they couldn’t help but grin secretly.

Ever since they arrived, their missy hadn’t touched any needlework. But now, she was going to make clothes for Qiao Tian Chang, which surprised them.

After Qiao Tian Chang left, Ning Meng Yao went to visit the workshop and the fish pond every day. She would also make clothes for Qiao Tian Chang while sitting in the yard. In just a few days time, she had completed two pieces.

Using scissors to cut off the thread from the clothes, Ning Meng Yao looked at the clothes in her hand. With a faint smile on her lips, she felt very satisfied with the clothes she had sewn.

“Ning Meng Yao, you vixen, come out right now!!”

Ning Meng Yao stopped what she was doing and then she turned towards the direction the voice came from and she saw Yang Cui rushing in from the doorway with her eyes slightly squinted.

Her angry look really is something else. Ning Meng Yao thought to herself.

Ning Meng Yao left the clothes on the stool by the side and waved at Qing Xuan and the rest to go away. Then, she looked at Yang Cui and asked: “May I know why are you here?”

Yang Cui stared at the woman in front of her. This woman was very beautiful. She knew she couldn’t compare to her.

She couldn’t learn how to be as elegant as her too. Seeing her sitting there, Yang Cui felt as if they were from two different worlds.

And she also felt her existence petty and low in front of Ning Meng Yao.

“Ning Meng Yao, who do you think you are to accept Brother Qiao’s engagement proposal? What is it that you have that is better than me?” Yang Cui asked sinisterly through her gritted teeth.

Ning Meng Yao held her chin with one hand and looked at the angry Yang Cui. Her face was showing an obvious feeling of annoyance: “A family indeed. Yang Cui; you, your mother, and your second brother too, you all are really shameless.”

“You’re not allowed to say that about my mother and brother!” Yang Cui’s face distorted very uglily after hearing Ning Meng Yao’s words.

“Oh, I feel like it would be rather a waste of time if I were to talk about your family, so, say it, why are you here.” Ning Meng Yao said with annoyance.

She really could not be bothered with many things, but why was this family so annoying?

Now she had a very good relationship with the people in the village. Even if there were some things that some people didn’t like about her, they were innocuous to her, unlike Yang Cui and her family.

“Ning Meng Yao, I warned you to leave Brother Qiao’s side. He is mine, and only mine!” Yang Cui screamed just like some crazy woman.

Ning Meng Yao sneered out loudly: “Really a family. You and your mother are really alike. It seems it is indeed true that the parents would raise their children to be similar to themselves.”

In the future, if her child was like this, she would be so mad.

Yang Cui knew that Qiao Tian Chang had proposed to Ning Meng Yao after the Dragon Boat Festival. At first, she didn’t believe it at all. She thought that her elder brother was lying to her, so she hurried home.

However, after she came back, she noticed that the people in the village were looking at her weirdly and even talked secretly about her behind her back.

She also heard from the women in the village about how much Qiao Tian Chang cared about Ning Meng Yao and the amount of betrothal gifts.

Listening to those words, Yang Cui almost exploded with anger. All of that should have belonged to her. How did Ning Meng Yao get so lucky in the end? She could not accept it.

So after confirming the matter with Madame Chen, she rushed to ask Ning Meng Yao. However, in Ning Meng Yao’s eyes, she was just like a clown. Ning Meng Yao wasn’t even looking straight into her eyes. Yang Cui had never felt so embarrassed before.
